EDITOR NEws-HERALD-Inas as
I have been cited as opposed to putting
the saloons out Of Hillsboro, think it
due to the community and to myself
that state my position.
1. am in favor of putting the saloons
out of Hillsboro, and out of Ohio, and
out of the United States, and out of the
world.
2. said from my pulpit some time
ago that did not see enough advantage
in the local option feature of the Dow
law to justify fight for it, if as soon as
the saloons were put out agencies were
opened: that as between the agencies
and the saloons there was little choice
that while the Legislature had not in.

8. Since said this the Attorney Gen
eral of the State has revised his previous
decision, and now pronounces agains
the agency business. The Pavey amend

Senate and soon to be considered by the
House, also strikes out all ground fo
the agency, so that the present outlool
is more favorable for an efficient move

us the chance to vote on this question
If it was their purpose to prevent agita

people will only cause the greater agita

denial. Neither will the Temperance

OPINIONS
Upon the Refusal of Council
To Allow Vote Under the Local
Option Clause Of the
Dow Law.
TIE TOWN COUNCIL vs. THE PEOPLE.

TIE TOWN COUNCIL VS. THE PEOPLE.
EDITOR NEws-HERALD: "Tor popuh,
ror dei'-"The voice of the people is the
voice of God," has come to be regarded
as a political maxim, self.evident
truth, at least in our country, whose
government is founded on the political
equality of all men, and the right of the
majority to rule.
One of the noblest and wisest utter.
ances of the immortal Lincoln was that
embodied in his brief but memorable
speech on the battlefield of Gettysburg,
when he said that the heroes who gave
their lives for freedom and the Union on
that hallowed spot "died, that govern.
ment of the people, for the people, and
by the people, might not perish from
the earth" 1t would seem that three
of the members of our Town Council
were reared in different political school
from that of Mr.. Lincoln, judging from
their action last Monday night.
1t was special meeting called for the
purpose Of considering the Local Option
petition presented to Council on the pre-.
vious Monday night, asking for vote
of the citizens of Hillsboro on the ques.
ton of permitting or prohibiting the
liquor traffic, in accordance with the
eleventh section Of the Dow law. AT
this special meeting all the members OF
Council were present, and am inform.
ed that the petition waa fully discussed
by committee of the whole with clos.
ed doors, and that a vote was finally
taken, which stood three for granting
the prayer of the petitioneers-Messrs.
Mullenix, Richards and johnson, and
three against-Messrs. Carson, Shofstall
and Thornburg. The vote being tie,
and the Mayor having no casting vote
in such cases, the prayer of the petition
was refused for want of majority in
its favor.
And this is in face of the fact that it
was signed by about two hundred Of
our best citizens, all qualified voters, a
large majority of whom are business
men and among our largest taxpayers
| believe it is Bryant or Whittier who
says with equal truth and beauty that
''There is . weapon frmer set
| And mightier than the bayonet;
It falls as noiselessly and still
| As falls the snow upon the sod,
But executes q fraeman's will
| As lightning does the will Of God"
was one of the signers of the peti
ton so contemptuously rejected, and
from the expressions I hear on all sides
in regard to the action of the Council
men who voted against granting the pc
tition I am induced tn believe that or
the first Monday of April next the SOW
ereign people will use the sure and 81
lent weapon so we'll described by the
poet, and politely request two of the
gentlemen who opposed the petition
and whose terms will then expire, Car
son and Thornburg, to step down ant
out, and give place to others who arr
willing to be the peoples servants, a.
they were elected to be, and not assume
to be their masters, and who will pay
proper respect to the Vox PopULI.

rho nost After Dinner speakers.

The best after dinner speakers in New
York are light eaters and light drinkers.
Most of them do little more than toy with
the choice viands that are set before them
at public banquets, and some of them es-
chew wines altogether. Chauncey M.
Depew occasionally takes o sip or two OF
champagne with his partridge or canvas
back, but the most observing veteran in
Delmonico's corps Of walters has never
yet seen Henry Ward Beecher drink any
thing but Apollinaris water. William NJ.
Evarts drinks glass or two Of wine with
apparent relish, but he always stops with
the second glass. The witty Horace Por-
ter partakes sparingly Of each wine as 1t
is served with the different courses. Ex-
Postmaster General Thomas L. james,
Judge Noah Davis and Wayne MacVeagh
usually conflne themselves to the spark
ling, but not exciting, Apollinaris. Ros-
coe Conkling seldom raises glass of wine
to his lips in public, and the polished Jo-
seph 81. Choate rarely empties his first
glass.
There are some practical banqueters, it
is true, that can "eat drink and be
merry" without losing either their wits
or their dignity. The gentle stimulus of
good Burgundy is sometimes needed to
clear away the cobwebs from speakers
brain and loose his tongue for action. The
brilliant Sunset Cox takes his sherry,
his Sauterne, his claret, his extra dry and
his small brandy in their proper order, but
his wit loses nothing Of its pungency in
consequence, nor does his language trans
gress the laws of decorum. Ex-senator
George H. Pendleton is q champagne
drinker, but he makes dignified and 1u-
ent after dinner speech, even after imbib-
ing what would put q man Of less sturdy
stomach under the table.-New York

Fascinated by New York City.

Why Is it that so many people find New

science, o few weeks visit to New York Is
something to be longed for, to dream
about Boston, worshiped by its resi-
dents as tho one spot on the earth nearest
Paradise, has learning, but after oil, New
York has more of it. Philadelphia has
size, manufactures and wealth, but the
place is dull, slow and monotonous conf
pared with New York. Baltimore boasts
Of its old families and beautiful women,
but New York surpasses even the Monu-
mental City in these particulars. New
York is the one great city, the metrop-
oils of the Union. London, Paris, Berlin
and st. Petersburg are also metropolitan
and attract the money, the brains, the So
ciety, tho fresh, strong blood OF their re-
spective countries.
IN New York you can meet any and
every one. The leading men of oil other
cities spend much of their time in New
York. Why7 Because 1t is here they
must come to buy If they want a large
stock from which to select, If they want
the assistance Of precedent, style, taste
experience, etc. Hero Is 10 % Iouno tae

York all over tho land. The jewelry they
wear and buy for wedding, birthday and
Christmas presents, is manufactured in
New York; the magazines they read, the
illustrated books which decorate their
tables ore published in New York. They
come here to buy pictures, bric-a-brac and
clothes. Yoril Cor. Cleveland Leader

A French Flower Farm.

There is on the maritime f'mt hills, in
the department of Var, a flower farm of
about seventeen acres, belonging to Nine.
do Ro.tairg. 1t is about 1000 feet
above the level of the Mediterranean,
and perhaps twenty miles from the coast.
The calcerous soil was naturally thin and
poor, and the olive trees which had occu-
pied the ground for century or more
previous to 1881, yielded but scanty and
unsatisfactory returns, and the land was
regarded as practically worthless. In
1881 the proprietress caused the ground
to be cleared and prepared for flower cul-
ture. 1t was dug to the depth of four
feet, and the larger stones removed. In
the autumn of 1881, $4,000 tufts of
violets, snd 100000 roots of the white
jasmine, were planted: The following
spring the remainder of the ground was
planted with roses, geraniums, tuberoset,
and ionquils, and a laboratory erected
for the manufacture of perfumes. The
location proved to have been we'll chosen,
the flower plant grew vigorously and
strong, and in 1885 (lhe fourth year after
pIanting) the flower farm OF Se'llsns,
which hSd previously yielded rental OF
s115 year, produces according 70 the
statement of the prop-ietress) perfumes
valued at S43, 154, and giving a net profit
of S7,767.SG. Of course tue plants and
shrubs at Seilans have not yet reached
their full productive capacity, but the
results of the fourth year illustrate sufli'
ciently how lucrative flower farming may
become, in favorable location and under
good management Washington Post.

Disuse of tho French Language.

A writer in q Belgian contemporary
traces the decline of the french language
on the continent. Flemish is driving
French out of the University of Antwerp
and the Academy of Ghent, from the Bel
gian mint and postofice, from the legisla-
ture and the tribunals. French has
ceased to be the official language Of the
German foreign Office; but it is not so well
known that even technical terms of
French derivation have been arbitrarily
substituted in the postal and telegraphic
services by words Of purely German manu-
facture-thc result of on organized move
ment to effect the same result in all de-
partments of life. German Is gradually
conquering French in Asecc-Lorraine.
Russia no longer speaks French even at
court Greece, following the German ex-
ample, is purifying itself from the French
element-once exceedingly strong-with
the utmost energy; and in Turin, instead
